Interest on all other Liabilities shall be payable upon demand. The Interest Rate shall be determined by Agent monthly on the last day of the preceding month based on the then LIBOR Rate (or, if applicable, pursuant to Section 3.11, the LIBOR Replacement Rate). In addition, any interest on the Loan due for the month of December, 2021 shall be paid in advance on the Closing Date. If and to the extent Available Cash Flow is insufficient to pay accrued interest for any month, then at Agent’s election in its sole discretion, such insufficient amount shall be added to the principal balance of the Loan.

 

3.2.            Default Interest Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all Liabilities may, at the election of Agent or Required Lenders, bear interest at the Default Rate until such Event of Default is cured and accepted in writing by the Agent and the Required Lenders or waived in writing by the Agent and the Required Lenders.

 

3.3.            Computation of Interest. All interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. The date of funding of the Loan and the date of repayment of the Loan (including, without limitation, the Maturity Date) shall be included in the calculation of interest; provided, however, that if the Loan is repaid on the same day that it is made, one (1) day’s interest shall be charged.

 

3.4.            Monthly Fee. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the benefit of Lenders, the Monthly Fee attributable to each partial or full month included in the Loan Term or the Post-Repayment Period. The Monthly Fee shall be due and payable contemporaneously with the delivery of the Monthly Fee Certificate for the applicable month. If the Monthly Fee Certificate for a month is not timely delivered within forty-five (45) days after the end of such month as required by Section 8.1(c), then Borrower shall pay on or before said forty-fifth (45th) day an amount equal to the most recently determined Monthly Fee (the "Estimate"). When the actual Monthly Fee is determined, then within two (2) Business Days thereafter, or if earlier, contemporaneously with the delivery of such Monthly Fee Certificate, Borrower shall pay any excess of such actual Monthly Fee over the Estimate (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, if Agent so elects). If the Estimate is greater than such actual Monthly Fee, Borrower shall receive a credit against the next Monthly Fee payable hereunder (or if no other amounts are or shall thereafter become due hereunder, and all Liabilities have been paid in full, refunded by Lenders to Borrower). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, all Monthly Fees shall be determined and paid no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of the month in which the Post-Repayment Period ends.

 

3.5.            Yield Maintenance Premium. Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan, in whole only, and not in part, on any regularly scheduled payment date; provided, however, that Borrower (i) gives Agent at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice, (ii) if the prepayment occurs during the first three years of Loan Term, pays Agent and Lenders the Yield Maintenance Premium (if Agent has not elected to require payment of the Excess Cash Fees with respect thereto), (iii) pays Agent and Lenders all other interest, Monthly Fees, Excess Cash Fees (if applicable) and other fees and costs due from Borrower to Agent or the Lenders, including any attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by Agent or the Lenders as a result of the prepayment, and (iv) pays and performs in full all other Liabilities then due or to be performed under this Agreement.

3.6.            Excess Cash Fees. In addition to interest and the Monthly Fee, Borrower agrees to pay to Agent for the benefit of Lenders, the Excess Cash Fees with respect to each Sale and each Refinancing during the Loan Term or the Post-Repayment Period (and as to a Sale, upon the corresponding Sale Closing, but regardless of when such Sale Closing occurs, which could be after the end of the Post-Repayment Period).  However, if concurrently with any Sale or Refinancing the Loan (or a portion thereof) is repaid during the first three years of Loan Term, the Agent shall have the option of requiring Borrower to pay the Yield Maintenance Premium arising therefrom in lieu of the applicable Excess Cash Fees with respect to such Sale or Refinancing (but not both). Subject to Agent's option described in the preceding sentence, the Credit Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Monthly Fee, the Yield Maintenance Premium and the Excess Cash Fees are separate obligations of Borrower, and each shall be paid when due in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

3.7.            Capital Adequacy. In the event that any Lender, subsequent to the Closing Date, determines in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment that (x) any change in applicable Law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or (y) any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, or (z) compliance by such Lender with any new request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of Law) of any central bank or other governmental or regulatory authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed material by such Lender in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, no later than five (5) days following demand by such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction in rate of return; provided that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a "change in applicable Law", regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. In determining such amount or amounts, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section 3.7 shall be available to any Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the applicable Law, regulation or condition. A certificate of a Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender with respect to this Section 3.7 and the calculation thereof, when delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby agrees that the amounts set forth in such certificate shall reflect such Lender's reasonable allocation, in a nondiscriminatory manner among Borrower having obligations to such Lender similar to those of the Borrower, of the aggregate of such cost increases or yield reductions resulting from any such change in applicable Law. In the event a Lender exercises its rights pursuant to this Section 3.7, and subsequent thereto reasonably determines that the amounts paid by the Borrower exceeded the amount which such Lender actually required to compensate such Lender for any reduction in rate of return on its capital, such excess shall be promptly returned to the Borrower by such Lender.

 

3.8.            Taxes.

 

(a)            Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.8) Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Government Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

 

(b)            Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. In addition, Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Government Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by Agent, on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)            Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower to a Government Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Government Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(iv)            any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

This Section 3.8 (f) shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

3.12.            Limitation on Charges. It being the intent of the parties that the rate of interest and all other charges to the Borrower be lawful, if for any reason the payment of a portion of the interest or other charges otherwise required to be paid under this Agreement would exceed the limit which the Lenders may lawfully charge the Borrower, then the obligation to pay interest or other charges shall automatically be reduced to such limit and, if any amounts in excess of such limit shall have been paid, then such amounts shall at the sole option of the Agent either be refunded to the Borrower or credited to the principal amount of the Liabilities (or any combination of the foregoing) so that under no circumstances shall the interest or other charges required to be paid by the Borrower hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowed by applicable Law, and Borrower shall not have any action against any Lender or Agent for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any such excess interest.

Agent shall provide copies of all financial statements and projections delivered to Agent by Borrower pursuant to Section 8 hereof, and copies of all material notices delivered to Agent by Borrower either by delivering copies to each Lender by electronic mail or by posting such materials to an internet service accessible by such Lenders such as “Intralinks”. Each of Borrower and each Lender agrees that Agent may, in its sole discretion, utilize Intralinks or electronic mail for such purpose. Agent shall not otherwise, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11, the provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of Agent, the Lenders, and Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. Each Lender acknowledges that Agent has joined in the Intercreditor Agreement for itself and on behalf of Lenders, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement to the extent provide in said joinder.

 

11.2.            Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects in the absence of a finding by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment that Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

11.3.            Exculpation of Agent. None of Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), (b) not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein); provided that Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to the Agreement or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any debtor relief Law or (c) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or Affiliate of Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement (or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to this Agreement to perform its Liabilities hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or any of Borrower’s subsidiaries or Affiliates.

11.4.            Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, electronic mail message, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify Agent against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon each Lender. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 11, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless Agent shall have received written notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

 

11.5.            Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default or Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 10; provided that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

 

11.6.            Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower which may come into the possession of Agent.

11.7.       Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), according to its applicable Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities (as hereinafter defined); provided that no Lender shall be liable for any payment to any such Person of any portion of the Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined by a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the applicable Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any Agent Advances and any costs or out of pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs and Taxes) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower.

 

11.8.       Agent in Individual Capacity. Oxford and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrower and Affiliates as though Oxford were not Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that, pursuant to such activities, Oxford or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to their Loans (if any), Oxford and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though Oxford were not Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Oxford and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.

 

11.9.       Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall, with (so long as no Event of Default exists) the consent of Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and (so long as no Event of Default is then continuing) Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” means such successor agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated (except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent). After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 11 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (c) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, in consultation with Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on such date.

11.10.      Collateral Matters.

 

(a)            Each Lender authorizes and directs Agent to enter into the other Financing Agreements for the benefit of Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders. Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender to take any action with respect to any Collateral or other Financing Agreements which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.

 

(b)            The Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (i) to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Financing Agreement (x) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Loans and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder; (y) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder (including the release of any guarantor); or (z) subject to Section 12.1 if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; or (ii) to subordinate its interest in any Collateral to any holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is permitted by clause (v) of the definition of Permitted Liens (it being understood that Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate from Borrower in determining whether the Debt secured by any such Lien is permitted by Section 13.2). Upon request by Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.10. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to give blockage notices in connection with any Subordinated Debt at the direction of Required Lenders and agrees that it will not act unilaterally to deliver such notices.

 

11.11.      Restriction on Actions by Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Agent, and shall, upon the written request of Agent (to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so), set off against the Liabilities, any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrower or any Deposit Accounts of Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken, any action, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to foreclose any loan or otherwise enforce any security interest in any of the Collateral or to enforce all or any part of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements. All enforcement actions under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements against the Borrower or any third party with respect to the Liabilities or the Collateral may only be taken by Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement) or by its agents at the direction of Agent.

 

62

 

 

11.12.      Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 

(a)            to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, and all other Liabilities that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and Agent under Sections 3 and 12.2) allowed in such judicial proceedings; and

 

(b)            to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

 

any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and counsel.

 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Liabilities or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

 

11.13.      Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent,” “book manager,” “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger”, if any, shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

 

63

 

 

11.14.      Payments Sent in Error.

 

(a)            If Agent notifies a Lender, secured party, or any other Person that has received funds on such Person’s behalf (each, a “Payment Recipient”) that Agent has determined at any time in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient, whether or not known to such Payment Recipient (any such funds or portion thereof, however received or characterized, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of Agent, be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of Agent, and such Payment Recipient shall (or shall cause any Payment Recipient on its behalf to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon from and including the date such Erroneous Payment was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

(b)            Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (however received or characterized) from Agent (or any of its Affiliates) that (x) is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Agent (or any of its Affiliates) relating thereto, (y) was not preceded or accompanied by such a notice, or (z) such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case (i) an error shall be presumed to have been made absent written confirmation from Agent to the contrary and (ii) such Payment Recipient shall (or shall cause any Payment Recipient on its behalf to) promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day of its knowledge of such error, notify Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof in reasonable detail and that it is so notifying Agent pursuant to this Section 11.14(ii).

 

(c)            Each Payment Recipient hereby authorizes Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Financing Agreement, or otherwise payable or distributable by Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

 

64

 

 

(d)            In the event that any Erroneous Payment is not recovered by Agent from or on behalf of a Lender for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as Agent may specify) (such assignment, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to Borrower or Agent, (ii) Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in such Loans. Agent may, in its discretion, sell all or any portion of the Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by such net proceeds, and Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against any applicable Payment Recipient. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether Agent may be equitably subrogated, Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Payment Recipient under the Financing Agreements with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

 

(e)            The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Liabilities owed by Borrower, except, in each case, solely to the extent such Erroneous Payment is comprised of funds received by Agent from Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

 

(f)            To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and each Payment Recipient hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment, including waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

 

(g)            Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 11.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of any or all Liabilities under any Financing Agreement.

 

65

 

 

11.15.      Certain ERISA Matters. For the benefit of Agent, and not for Borrower or any other Credit Party, each Lender (x) represents and warrants as of the date it became a Lender and (y) covenants from the date it became a Lender to the date it ceases being a Lender:

 

(a)            that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more benefit plans for such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration and performance of the Loans, Commitments or this Agreement; (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14, PTE 95-60, PTE 90-1, PTE 91-38 or PTE 96-23, is applicable to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration and performance of the Loans, Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14) which made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans and this Agreement, and the entrance into, participation in, administration and performance of the Loans and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84- 14 and, to the best knowledge of such Lender, subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14, or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender; and

 

(b)            unless either (i) sub-clause 18.16(a)(i) is true with respect to such Lender or (ii) such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause 18.16(a)(iv), that Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration and performance of the Loans, Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by Agent under this Agreement, any Financing Agreement or any documents related hereto or thereto).

 

12.           MISCELLANEOUS.

 

12.1.        Waivers; Amendment. No delay on the part of Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and acknowledged by Lenders having an aggregate Pro Rata Shares of not less than the aggregate Pro Rata Shares expressly designated herein with respect thereto or, in the absence of such designation as to any provision of this Agreement, by the Required Lenders, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Except to the extent set forth in Section 10.8 hereof, no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall (a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (b) extend the date scheduled for payment of any principal (excluding mandatory prepayments) of or interest on the Loans or any fees payable hereunder without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (c) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, the rate of interest thereon or any fees payable hereunder, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except for periodic adjustments of interest rates and fees resulting from a change in the in the interest rate as provided for in this Agreement); or (d) release any guarantor from its obligations under a guaranty, other than as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder, subordinate the obligations of any guarantor under any guaranty of the Liabilities to any other indebtedness for borrowed money or release or subordinate its liens on all or any substantial part of the Collateral granted under any of the other Financing Agreements (except as permitted by Section 11.10), change the definition of Required Lenders, any provision of Section 12.8, any provision of this Section 12.1, the provisions of Section 10.8 or reduce the aggregate Pro Rata Share required to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent, without, in each case set forth in this clause (e), the written consent of all Lenders.

 

66

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, Agent and Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

 

If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all Lenders, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, Agent and/or a Person or Persons reasonably acceptable to Agent shall have the right to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon Agent’s request, sell and assign to Agent and/or such Person or Persons, all of the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance of all such Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments held by such Non-Consenting Lenders and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other amounts then due with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent that by its terms requires the consent of all the Lenders or each affected Lender) may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders, except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended, or the maturity of any of its Loan may not be extended, the rate of interest on any of its Loans may not be reduced and the principal amount of any of its Loans may not be forgiven, in each case without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of all the Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than the other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

 

In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, if Agent and Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Financing Agreements, then Agent and Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision, and, in each case, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Financing Agreement if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders to Agent within ten Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

12.3.        Expenditures by the Agent. In the event the Borrower shall fail to pay taxes, insurance, audit fees and expenses, filing, recording and search fees, assessments, fees, costs or expenses which the Borrower are, under any of the terms hereof or of any of the other Financing Agreements, required to pay, or fail to keep the Collateral free from other Liens, except as permitted herein, the Agent may, in its sole discretion, pay or make expenditures for any or all of such purposes, and the amounts so expended, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (from the date the obligation or liability of Borrower is charged or incurred until actually paid in full to Agent and Lenders, as applicable) and shall be part of the Liabilities of the Borrower, payable on demand and secured by the Collateral.

 

12.4.        Custody and Preservation of Collateral. The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession if it takes such action for that purpose as the Borrower shall request in writing, but failure by the Agent to comply with any such request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care, and no failure by the Agent to preserve or protect any right with respect to such Collateral against prior parties, or to do any act with respect to the preservation of such Collateral not so requested by Borrower, shall of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of such Collateral.

 

12.5.       Reliance by the Agent and Lenders. Borrower acknowledges that the Agent and Lenders, in entering into this Agreement and agreeing to make the Loan and otherwise extend credit to the Borrower hereunder, have relied upon the accuracy of the covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein by the Borrower and the information delivered by the Borrower to the Agent and Lenders in connection herewith (including, without limitation, all financial information and data).

 

12.6.        Reserved.

 

12.7.      Severability; Construction. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

12.8.        Application of Payments. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Agreements, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default Borrower irrevocably waive the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times hereafter received by Agent or any Lender from Borrower or with respect to any of the Collateral, and Borrower do hereby irrevocably agree that any and all payments or proceeds so received shall be applied to the Liabilities in such order as Agent in its sole discretion determines. All amounts owing under this Agreement in respect of Liabilities including fees, interest, default interest, interest on interest, expense reimbursements and indemnities, shall be payable in accordance with this Section 12.8 irrespective of whether a claim in respect of such amounts is allowed or allowable in any insolvency proceeding.

 

69

 

 

12.9.        Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. The Agent shall be under no obligation to marshall any assets in favor of Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Liabilities. To the extent that Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Agent or Lenders, or the Agent or Lenders enforces their respective Liens or exercises its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy Law, state or federal Law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall automatically be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. This Section 12.9 shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the Liabilities of Borrower and the termination of this Agreement.

 

12.10.      Sections and Titles; UCC Termination Statements. The sections and titles contained in this Agreement shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto. At such time as all of the Liabilities shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with its terms, the Agent will, upon the Borrower’s written request and at the Borrower’s cost and expense, authorize the filing of all UCC termination statements required by the Borrower to evidence the termination of the Liens in the Collateral in favor of the Agent (for the ratable benefit of Lenders and Agent) and the Agent will sign a customary payoff letter that evidences the termination of the grant of the security interest in its favor by the Borrower as provided pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof.

 

12.11.      Continuing Effect; Inconsistency. This Agreement, the Agent’s Liens in the Collateral, and all of the other Financing Agreements shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Liabilities shall be owed to the Agent and Lenders, and (even if there shall be no such Liabilities outstanding) so long as this Agreement has not been terminated. To the extent any terms or provisions contained in any Financing Agreement are inconsistent or conflict with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern. In exercising rights hereunder and under any other Financing Agreements or taking any actions herein or therein, Agent and Lenders may act through their respective employees, agents or independent contractors as authorized by Agent or Lenders.

Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including email, and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Agent provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2 if such Lender has notified Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication. Agent or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an email address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return email or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its email address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.

The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications.

71

 

 

12.13.      Equitable Relief. Borrower recognizes that, in the event Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy at Law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Agent and Lenders. Therefore, Borrower agrees that the Agent and Lenders, if the Agent or Lenders so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

 

12.14.      Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Financing Agreements executed in connection herewith, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior written or oral understandings, discussions and agreements with respect thereto (including, without limitation, any term sheet or commitment letter). This Agreement may be amended or modified only by mutual agreement of the parties evidenced in writing and signed by the party to be charged therewith. Time is of the essence hereof with respect to the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. The Recitals hereto are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by this reference thereto.

 

12.15.      Assignments; Participations.

 

12.15.1.            Assignments.

 

(1)            Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Persons (any such Person, an “Assignee”) all or any portion of such Lender’s Loans, with the prior written consent of Agent, and, so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required for an assignment by a Lender to a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) or an Affiliate of a Lender (other than an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender) or an Approved Fund (other than an Approved Fund of a Defaulting Lender)). Except as Agent may otherwise agree, any such assignment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $5,000,000 or, if less, the remaining Loans held by the assigning Lender (provided, that an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall not be subject to the foregoing minimum assignment limitations). The Credit Parties and Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until Agent shall have received and accepted an effective assignment agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (an “Assignment Agreement”) executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no assignment may be made to (i) Borrower, (ii) any other Credit Party, (iii) Immediate Parent, (iv) any Property Owner, (v) Summit, (vi) any direct or indirect equity holder of a Credit Party or any other Person that owns, directly or indirectly, five percent (5%) or more of any class of equity in Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower or any other Credit Party, (vii) any holder of Subordinated Debt or any Indebtedness that is secured by Liens that have been contractually subordinated to the Liens securing the Liabilities or (viii) any Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent may be withheld in Agent’s sole discretion and, in any event, if granted, may be conditioned on such terms and conditions as Agent shall require in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, a limitation on the aggregate amount of Loans which may be held by such Person and/or its Affiliates and/or limitations on such Person’s and/or its Affiliates’ voting and consent rights and/or rights to attend Lender meetings or obtain information provided to other Lenders. Any attempted assignment not made in accordance with this Section 12.15.1 shall be treated as the sale of a participation under Section 12.15.2. Borrower shall be deemed to have granted their consent to any assignment requiring its consent hereunder unless Borrower have expressly objected to such assignment within three (3) Business Days after notice thereof. In no event shall any assignment be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person).

 

72

 

 

(2)            From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (i) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder. Upon the request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent for delivery to the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) a Note in the principal amount of the Assignee’s outstanding Loans (and, as applicable, a Note in the principal amount of the Loan retained by assigning Lender). Each such Note shall be dated the effective date of such assignment. Upon receipt by Agent of such Note(s), the assigning Lender shall return to Borrower any prior Note held by it.

 

(3)            Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

12.15.2.            Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Loans or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (a) such Lender’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (b) each Credit Party shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, (c) all amounts payable by Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender and (d) each Lender granting a participation hereunder shall maintain, as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, a register (the “Participation Register”) as to the participations granted and transferred under this Section 12.15.2 containing the same information specified in Section 12.15.2 on the Register as if the each participant were a Lender, and no participation may be transferred except as recorded in such Participation Register. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any event described in Section 12.1 expressly requiring the unanimous vote of all Lenders or, as applicable, all affected Lenders. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such Lender enters into with any Participant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no participation may be sold to Summit, Immediate Parent, Borrower, any Property Owner or any direct or indirect equity holder of a Credit Party, any holder of any Subordinated Debt of a Credit Party, any holder of any Debt that is secured by liens and security that have been contractually subordinated to the liens and security interests securing the Liabilities or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent may be withheld in Agent’s sole discretion and, in any event, if granted, may be conditioned on such terms and conditions as Agent shall require in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, a limitation on the aggregate amount of Loans which may be participated such Person and/or its Affiliates and/or limitations on such Person’s and/or its Affiliates’ voting and consent rights and/or rights to attend Lender meetings or obtain information provided to other Lenders. Each Credit Party agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and with respect to any Letter of Credit to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as such Lender under this Agreement; provided that such right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with such Lender, and such Lender agrees to share with each Participant, on a pro rata basis. Borrower also agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.7 or 3.8 as if it were Lender (provided that on the date of the participation no Participant shall be entitled to any greater compensation pursuant to Section 3.7 or 3.8 than would have been paid to such Lender on such date if no participation had been sold).

 

73

 

 

12.15.3.            Register. Agent shall, as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered and accepted by it and register (the “Register”) for the recordation of names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of each Lender and principal and stated interest of each Loan owing to each Lender from time to time and whether such Lender is the original Lender or the Assignee. No assignment shall be effective unless and until the Assignment Agreement is accepted and registered in the Register. All records of transfer of a Lender’s interest in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the ownership of the interests in the Loans. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Agent shall not incur any liability of any kind with respect to any Lender with respect to the maintenance of the Register. Each Lender granting a participation shall, as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register containing information similar to that of the Register in a manner such that the loans hereunder are in “registered form” for the purposes of the Code. This Section and Section 12.15.2 shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” for the purpose of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).

 

12.16.      Indemnity. Borrower agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, each Lender and each and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, affiliates, and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Indemnified Parties in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not the Indemnified Parties shall be designated by a party thereto, or otherwise), which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party (whether direct, indirect or consequential, and whether based on any federal or state Laws or other statutory regulations, including, without limitation, securities, environmental and commercial Laws and regulations, under common law or at equitable cause, or on contract or otherwise) in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, the making and the management of the Loan (including, without limitation, any liability under federal, state or local environmental Laws or regulations) or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan hereunder; provided, that the Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to matters caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any Law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable Law, to the payment and satisfaction of all matters incurred by the Indemnified Parties. Any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, cost or expense incurred by the Indemnified Parties shall be paid to the Indemnified Parties on demand, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by the Indemnified Parties until paid by the Borrower, be added to the Liabilities, and be secured by the Collateral and the Real Property. The provisions of and undertakings and indemnifications set out in this Section 12.16 shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the Liabilities of the Borrower and the termination of this Agreement.

 

74

 

 

12.17.      Representations and Warranties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and the making of the Loan and the repayment of the Liabilities hereunder.

 

12.18.     Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement and any amendment or supplement hereto or any waiver granted in connection herewith may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement. Agent may permit or require that any of the documents, certificates, forms, deliveries or other communications, authorized, required or contemplated by this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements, be submitted to Agent in “Approved Electronic Form” (as hereafter defined), subject to any reasonable terms, conditions and requirements in the applicable Approved Electronic Forms Notice. For purposes hereof “Electronic Form” means e-mail, e-mail attachments, data submitted on web-based forms or any other communication method that delivers machine readable data or information to Agent, “Approved Electronic Form” means an Electronic Form that has been approved by Agent (which approval has not been revoked or modified by Agent) and “Approved Electronic Communication” means each notice, demand, communication, information, document and other material transmitted, posted or otherwise made or communicated by e-mail, internet portal or other Platform. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the applicable Approved Electronic Form Notice, any submissions made in an applicable Approved Electronic Form shall have the same force and effect that the same submissions would have had if they had been submitted in any other applicable form authorized, required or contemplated by this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements. Approved Electronic Communications that do not bear or are not readily capable of bearing either a signature or a reproduction of a signature shall be deemed signed, by attaching to, or logically associating with such Approved Electronic Communication an electronic symbol, encryption, digital signature or process (including the name or an abbreviation of the name of the party or the company transmitting the Approved Electronic Communication), and Agent and Lenders are entitled to rely on such Approved Electronic Communications as signed. Each of the Credit Parties, Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that the use of Approved Electronic Communications is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing each of Agent, each Lender and each of their Affiliates to accept and transmit Approved Electronic Communications.

 

75

 

 

12.19.      Limitations of Liability of Agent and each Lender. It is hereby expressly agreed that:

 

(a)            The Agent and each Lender may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document, instrument, certificate, instruction or signature believed to be genuine and may assume and shall be protected in assuming that any Person purporting to give any notice or instructions in connection with any transaction to which this Agreement relates has been duly authorized to do so. The Agent and each Lender shall not be obligated to make any inquiry as to the authority, capacity, existence or identity of any Person purporting to have executed any such document or instrument or have made any such signature or purporting to give any such notice or instructions;

 

(b)            The Agent and each Lender shall not be liable for any acts, omissions, errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or Law, including, without limitation, acts, omissions, errors or mistakes with respect to the Collateral, except for those arising out of or in connection with the Agent or such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as required by applicable Law, the Agent and each Lender shall be under no obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the Collateral against any other parties, but may do so at its option, and all expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower; and

 

(c)            The Agent and each Lender shall not be liable for any action taken in good faith and believed to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred by this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, provided that Agent and Lenders shall in no event be liable for, and Borrower hereby waives, any and all claims for consequential or punitive damages.

For the purposes of this Section 12.21, “Securitization” shall mean a public or private offering by Agent, Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns, of securities which represent an interest in, or which are collateralized, in whole or in party, by the Loan. Confidential information shall not include information that either: (i) is in the public domain, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to such Person through no fault of such Person, or (ii) is disclosed to such Person by a Person other than the Borrower or an Affiliate of Borrower (or Borrower’s accountants, attorneys or other advisors or agents), provided Agent or, as applicable, a Lender does not have actual knowledge that such Person is prohibited from disclosing such information.
